"While there was no name on the below photos, the various views place it at the location noted for only three wrecks; Ann Parry (1865), Brignardello (1868) and Yosemite (1926). As to whether the image was one of a stranded ship that was later pulled off, aka "one that got away," the condition of the wreck in the photo is such that this was one that did not get away; bedded down, flooded, and strained and damaged to the point that it would break up, that means it could only be either Ann Parry or Brignardello. As Ann Parry broke up at the time of the wreck into scattered debris, the logical assumption can only be Brignardello. The relative size of the ship is what I'd expect for a 500-ton ship like Brignardello, and the form and type even with the masts down accommodated three masts; it is only the rigging on the masts that means it is a ship, bark or barkentine. There are chainplates, which supported the mast shrouds, that survived the loss of the bulwarks and rise above the deck level on the higher (port) side of the wreck; their position and the number of them show this was a bark. All of that circumstantial evidence notwithstanding, the fact that Brignardello stayed intact, minus its masts, is that the position of the wreck is as was described in the accounts for Brignardello; perpendicular to the shore, stern lower in the water, and heeled over to the starboard side, as seen in the photo. That winter (of 1868) the ship remained more or less intact, but flooded, and that is when these images were taken as the seas have stripped the decks of cabins before the end of the year, when the wreck turned over to port and then broke up further, aided by blasting, in early 1869. I'm sure this is Brignardello."     James Delgado (8/12/2020)
